A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to prescribing distance requirements for off-street parking used by for-hire vehicle base stations

 

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

Section 1. Subdivision b of section 19-511 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by local law number 51 of 1996, is amended to read as follows:

b. The operator of a base station shall provide and utilize lawful off-street facilities for the parking and storage of the licensed for-hire vehicles that are to be dispatched from that base station equal to not less than one parking space for every two such vehicles or fraction thereof. [The commission shall establish by rule criteria for off-street parking which shall include, but not be limited to, the maximum permissible distance between the base station and such off-street parking facilities and the proximity of such off-street parking facilities to residences and community facilities as defined in the zoning resolution of the city of New York.] However, in no event shall such off-street parking be located more than three hundred feet from the base station. A license for a new base station shall only be granted where the applicant has demonstrated to the commission prior to the issuance of such license that off-street parking facilities sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this subdivision shall be provided.

§2. This local law shall take effect ninety days after its enactment into law.
